A: Oh, Angry Scotsman…

ANGRY SCOTSMAN: AH SAID DOON’T GIVE ME THAT TOON!

CHET MACGRUDER: For the record, I would like to point out that…

A: Chet… [sigh]… you can’t be a caller.

CHET MACGRUDER: I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT that I was not crying. I have allergies. Allergies! And the Angry Scotsman is a stupid… camper… who… cheats… and…

A: Chet… nobody cares. And you can’t be a caller!

CHET MACGRUDER: Oh, come on. You know this feature spun way out of control months ago.

A: Oh, that is… that is just… so… unfair. You know how hard I work on this feature.

CHET MACGRUDER: Yes, but you spend all your time on refreshments. Maybe you should spend more time getting good questions and good answers beforehand instead of winging it every week.

A: But… it’s so much easier just to bake something…


HOWARD: Uh… hello?

A: Yes, caller, what’s your question?

HOWARD: I don’t… have a question. You told me to call.

A: Caller, your question, please?

HOWARD: Uh… John, you came over to my desk and said “Call me in five minutes. We need a third question for today’s Help Desk.”

A: [sigh] Howard, would it kill you to play along?

HOWARD: Oh, sure, get the dog, he loves to play games! Have a nice game of pretend to throw the ball with the dog! See him run! Isn’t it funny, he doesn’t know it’s still in your hand! I am getting really sick of all the dogism in this…

A: Howard. Howard.

HOWARD: What? WHAT?!

A: Wanna go for a walk?

HOWARD: Oh! Yes! Yes! A walk! Ha-ha! Yes! I’ll get the leash! Ha-ha! Wheeeee!
